Overview
Procore Connect for Drawings enables Procore customers to connect their projects so that drawings can be copied and kept in sync with the sending project. The connection is one-way and copies published drawings from a sending source project to a receiving connected project.

Why connect projects?
When projects are connected, drawings are easily shared with collaborators working on your project. This eliminates silos and reduces duplicate data entry. Some of the key benefits include:
Automatically sharing published drawings with receiving collaborators.
Eliminating the need for receiving collaborators to download drawings and re-upload them into their own projects for their teams to access.
Receiver collaborators are automatically notified when new drawings or revisions are published in the sending account, and are available to review and publish.
Drawings titles and metadata are kept in sync with the sending account, ensuring a single source of truth and reducing the likelihood of potential mistakes.
Connected data is retained in the receiving company's account for record keeping and reporting.
Receiver permissions requirements to connect projects are comparable to how sending accounts currently allow collaborators to access drawing information. The sending account is always notified about new connections and can disconnect projects if needed.
How does it work?
Project connections are always initiated by the receiving project.
The connection depends on the sending company's approval preference.
If review is not required, the projects will be automatically connected.
If review is required, a connection request will be sent to the sending company to review and manually approve or reject.
As the sending project uploads and publishes drawings, those drawings are copied to the receiving project. The drawings are copied in an unpublished state for the receiving project to review and publish in their project.
After the drawings are published in the receiving company's project, users with access to the receiving project's drawings tool can view the connected drawings that originated from the sending company's project
